Autumn Care of Myrtle Grove

Autumn Care of Myrtle Grove is a for-profit skilled nursing facility with 90 certified beds and usually cares for about 83 residents each day, so it's of moderate size, and since September 2019 Saber Governance, LLC has managed it with Brian Joiner taking over in March 2020, and Saber Healthcare Group is the main group it's affiliated with, and this place is one of several Autumn Care locations in North Carolina, most notably in Wilmington. They provide a range of care services, including skilled nursing, rehabilitation care, long-term care, assisted living, memory care, and personal care, and all of this happens under a care-first approach aimed at meeting individual needs and preferences, and staff make person-centered care plans for each resident to help them reach better health and more independence. Residents can get short-term rehab, long-term skilled nursing services, and respite care, and there are specialized programs for different medical needs, including contracts with the VA for veterans, and they offer a pre-registration program if someone wants to plan for rehabilitation before a surgery. Licensed professionals handle daily care, and the team offers around 3.16 nurse hours to each resident per day, though the nurse turnover rate is a bit high at 68.5%, which means patients might see new faces somewhat often. Inspectors have found some problems in the past, giving deficiency citations for things like following treatment orders or pain management, so it's good to be aware that the care meets required standards, with some areas needing ongoing attention. Residents and their families say the place has a home-like atmosphere and staff are kind and helpful. The building has skilled nursing beds, air conditioning, and onsite customer parking, so it covers the basic comforts. It's been recognized by the American Health Care Association in the 2020 Quality Initiative Recognition Program, which shows some commitment to quality improvements, but like most places there's always room for improvements alongside ongoing efforts to specialize care and maintain a comfortable environment while giving each adult attention based on their own wellness goals.
